Optimization of centroidal Voronoi tessellations

Ernesto G. Birgin, Juan S. C. Franco, Antoine Laurain

In this paper, we investigate the optimization of Centroidal Voronoi Tessellations (CVT) under geometric constraints. For this purpose, we minimize a linear combination of the stan…

Sensitivity analysis and tailored design of minimization diagrams

Ernesto G. Birgin, Antoine Laurain, Tiago C. Menezes

Minimization diagrams encompass a large class of diagrams of interest in the literature, such as generalized Voronoi diagrams. We develop an abstract perturbation theory and perfor…

Analysis and application of a lower envelope method for sharp-interface multiphase problems

Antoine Laurain

We introduce and analyze a lower envelope method (LEM) for the tracking of interfaces motion in multiphase problems. The main idea of the method is to define the phases as the regi…

A Shape-Newton approach to the problem of covering with identical balls

Ernesto G. Birgin, Antoine Laurain, Rafael Massambone +1

The problem of covering a region of the plane with a fixed number of minimum-radius identical balls is studied in the present work. An explicit construction of bi-Lipschitz mapping…

An abstract lagrangian framework for computing shape derivatives

Antoine Laurain, Pedro T. P. Lopes, Jean C. Nakasato

In this paper we study an abstract framework for computing shape derivatives of functionals subject to PDE constraints. We revisit the Lagrangian approach using the implicit functi…

Properties of optimizers of the principal eigenvalue with indefinite weight and Robin conditions

Jimmy Lamboley, Antoine Laurain, Grégoire Nadin +1

In this paper, we are interested in the analysis of a well-known free boundary/shape optimization problem motivated by some issues arising in population dynamics. The question is t…

Distributed shape derivative via averaged adjoint method and applications

Antoine Laurain, Kevin Sturm

The structure theorem of Hadamard-Zolésio states that the derivative of a shape functional is a distribution on the boundary of the domain depending only on the normal perturbation…

Shape optimization of an electric motor subject to nonlinear magnetostatics

Peter Gangl, Ulrich Langer, Antoine Laurain +2

The goal of this paper is to improve the performance of an electric motor by modifying the geometry of a specific part of the iron core of its rotor. To be more precise, the object…
